Picnic Time!

The June meeting is a busy one. Join us for our annual picnic, garage sale and board elections.

We will meet at American Legion Park in WDM at the corner of 4th and Vine. Dinner starts at 6:30. Bring a dish to share. The guild will provide tableware and beverages.MAP: Click the link at bottom of post to get a map to site!

This is also a chance to de-stash a bit and/or buy new yarns. Our garage sale is an opportunity to sell yarn and knitting related items and maybe pick up some new yarn related items. Please bring cash for this.

We will have a meeting and vote for a new board for the guild. Come elect your new board.

June is also time to renew your membership. It is still only $15 and the new year begins in July. This year we will start having a July meeting.
